Fortunately, there are a lot more kids who buy toys, which is what the new Batmobile is designed for, than enthusiasts who pine for the past. Granted, the first Catwoman and first Batmobile - an old Ford Galaxie that's still driven around the valley - is cool, but money is what keeps the brand breathing, and the new stuff sells. Batman toys are flying off the shelves almost as fast as Star Wars.

In short, it's all about the bottom line dollar.
